Egyptian mythology
Named for the Egyptian god-king Khufu, better known by his Greek name of Cheops, a pharoah of the 29th century B.C. and builder of the largest of the great pyramids at Giza, one of the seven wonders of the ancient world.
The discovery of the asteroid Khufu coincided with the popularization of martial arts films, like "Karate Kid" (1984), in which the protagonist first lost against the bad guy, but then developed a special technique, with which he finally managed to beat him.

It also coincided with the popularization of video games, like "Kung Fu Master" (1984), in which at the end of each phase or at the end of the game itself, a particularly difficult boss or monster awaited, which, however, due to it was a character controlled by the computer and limited to its artificial intelligence, sooner or later, one became familiar with its movements and ended up discovering its weak points and the way to beat him.
Similarly, the asteroid Khufu is related with the ability to develop appropriate strategies or techniques to fight opponents --who initially may seem invulnerable-- by closely observing their movements.
